3 Tricep Exercises To Help You Get The Arms You've Always Wanted
Do you show them off proudly by wearing strappy tops and dresses in the summer?
Most mums don't like their arms. At all. One of the most frequent questions I get asked is how to tone them up.
So, in today's episode of RebeccaFredericksTV I thought we'd do something different and amalgamate 3 of my fitness demo videos together to show you exactly how to perform 3 of the best tricep exercises that you can do, to get beautiful, toned, and strong upper arms that are perfect to show off this summer.
But randomly performing a few exercises won't cut it. As with everything you need to know what your goals are and you need to be consistent.
Doing a few exercises every now and then just isn't going to have much of an impact. Sadly!
Try doing 8 repetitions of each of these exercises 3 times, every other day for 3 weeks and I'll bet you will see and feel the benefit. Once the exercises start to feel easy - increase the number of times that you do them,
...4 Great Bottom Exercises You Can Do From Home To Tone & Lift
After having Ava (baby number 1) I found that breast-feeding completely depleted my bottom from any muscle or fat that I'd had there. Gone was my round little bottom and it was replaced with a couple of empty pitta breads...attractive!
Is your bottom a bit of a problem area too?
Is it not as pert as you'd like it? Does it lack shape? Or is is just a little on the large side?
About 80% of the clients I work with want me to help them tone up their bottoms, so in today's episode of RebeccaFredericsTV I share with you 4 easy bottom exercises that you can do from anywhere.
As always, if you want to make them harder add some weights!
Try doing 15 reps of all 4 exercises, without taking a break. Then rest for 3 minutes before performing the set of all 4 exercises 2 more times. Ouch!
How To Make Sure Your Exercising Correctly For Your Specific Goal
Before you start to exercise it’s really important that you are clear on ‘why’ you are exercising.
Do you want to lose fat?
Do you want to tone your body?
Do you want to build muscle?
Do you want to improve your fitness?
Because it’s only by knowing what you want to achieve with exercise that you’re actually going to exercise in the correct way.
Let me break it down a little for you:
Let’s say your goal is to BUILD MUSCLE:
Weight: Heavy enough that you have what's called 'muscle failure' after the 8th rep - this means you can't possibly perform another rep without your hard earned rest period
Perform: 3 Sets of the exercise
Perform: 8 Repetitions of each exercise
Take a Rest between sets of: 2- 3 minutes
Frequency of exercise: 2/3 times per week
This means you would do 3 sets of 8 reps (e.g 8 tricep dips performed 3 times in total). After each set of 8 reps you would rest for 2 - 3 minutes.
Alternatively let’s say your goal is to BUILD MUSCULAR ...
